Norrie performs equally well on all types of surfaces. The Briton has a good backhand, but his forehand with a good top spin deserves special attention.

Professional qualities
Lajovic prefers a monotonous style of play. His game is not based on a powerful serve and equally powerful punches from both sides. His approach is to play defense. He tries to stay stable on the back line, returning difficult balls and provoking the opponent to make mistakes. This style of play is most productive on slow courts and brings almost no results when playing on a fast surface.

Lajovic has won two ATP trophies in his career. The 34-year-old Serbian tennis player completed the last of them in 2023 at a clay tournament in Banja Luka. Dusan is currently ranked 131st in the world rankings, although he was once 23rd in the world.
